Raithan




Eyes: Red
Hair: Black
Race: Vampire


Occupation: General in the Blood Queen's army
Group affiliation: Vampire Nation


Story: Raithan was the top general in the Blood Queen's army. When Drakken tried to kill the Blood Queen in a coup d'etat, Raithan sided with the Blood Queen [2], and after she was dethroned, he continued to fight Drakken [3]. Raithan was killed in a fight with Dominus, the crown emperor of the Vampirium [4].

Raithan later turned up alive with no explanation of how he came back to life [5] (possibly a side effect of Captain Atom's visit to the dimension which caused some retcon of history [1]). He had taken care of the Blood Queen's daughter who was going to be the savior of the Vampire Nation, and he did succeed in making her queen of the Vampire Nation [6].


Skills & abilities: Raithan is a highly skilled warrior with the abilities, strength and speed native to vampires.
